Clynelish Select Reserve (Special Release 2015)
The second Select Reserve from Diageo's Special Releases, Jim Beveridge has again been busy hand-selecting Clynelish casks. Yep, we're all jealous of him too! Liquid was chosen from ex-bourbon first-fill American oak barrels, rejuvenated and refill American oak hogsheads, and ex-Sherry and refill European oak butts - no stone was left unturned it seems. A release of 2,946 individually numbered bottles.
Please note: The tops of the presentation boxes for this whisky have faded, though they have protected the bottles from a potentially similar fate. Good job, boxes.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Super buttery at first, rather than waxy per se, it's like custard. There's some jaffa cake in there, but it's more cake than jaffa, pepper too.
Palate
Custard and cocoa, thick, delicious and comforting.
Finish
Spicy and sweet with a hint of salinity.
Overall
Different to last year, but another expertly put together whisky. Hats off again Jim.
